Very true. If you go to 2 TDA sorcs, then assuming you can get your spells off, something like deepstrike in then doombolt, malevolent, smite (scroll), firestorm, smite is putting ~12 MW's on a vehicle, followed by 2 melta shots for like 220pts. Warp in some glamoured tzaangor or weavered cultists to keep them safe, or some SOT's. What , loadouts, spell relic and Stratagem support do you prefer and how much does it depend on the above choices? The Astartes of the XV Legion welcomed this development, for they sought to further emulate the Emperor of Mankind. This development was reluctantly tolerated by the Emperor, who was greatly wary of psychic abilities wielded by anyone other than Himself or Malcador the Sigillite, though the Thousand Sons' abilities proved to be a powerful weapon for the Imperium during the Great Crusade. Befuddling Curse - A multihued bolt of light leaps from the sorcerer and strikes the target with no apparent effect. Shortly after receiving the strike, the victim begins to act strangely, muttering to himself, screaming at imaginary enemies, or even taking a Chainsword to his own leg against the nonexistent infestations rooted there.

Weaver of Fates - The Chaos psyker gifted with the Mark of Tzeentch traces the skeins of the future to see the fates of battle. Forewarned of imminent danger, he and his allied warriors dodge bullets and sword blows with seemingly supernatural reflexes.The most recent dataslate shows that the GW design team seemed to think the faction was a bit too good, and as a result they received some heavy nerfs in the form of point increases and the changes to stratagems. Still; early reports about the faction being competitively dead appear to have been a bit of an exaggeration, and the faction still has some potent strategies to work with in the post-nerf environment, albeit with fewer options to choose from. They can likely still compete, but aren’t the tier 1.5 challenger they were. Five Things You Need to Know It doesn’t take the all-seeing Eye of Tzeentch to know that, in really big games, you want Magnus in your corner. He is utterly dominating in the psychic phase, and a match for most anything in combat, provided you have the right powers in play. There are a few options for how to get him into this Detachment, but we like the Sekhmet Conclave best – formed of Magnus (or one of his chief lieutenants) and Scarab Occult Terminators– because it raises him to a potential Toughness 8. This takes the Daemon Primarch beyond the damage of bolters and most Space Marines guns, and means that popular Strength 6 weapons (we’re looking at you, Eldar) will only wound on 6’s, halving their effectiveness against him.

The path to such formidable power is not an easy one, however, and the dangers the sorcerers must face are uncountable. Even the resilient psyches of Astartes are not altogether immune to the touch of madness. The deviant lore that sorcerers covet is laden with insidious dangers. Inevitably, all but the strongest-willed find their sanity blasted by the crawling horror of the secrets they uncover. Most Chaos Sorcerers bear the Mark of Tzeentch, who is the Changer of the Ways and the Chaos God of Sorcery, but sometimes sorcerers bearing the Marks of Nurgle the Plague Lord or Slaanesh, the Prince of Pleasure, also appear. When Astartes embrace Chaos, they sell their souls to vile Daemon deities. In trade for their eternal damnation they receive mighty gifts from the Dark Gods, with few gaining more than the psykers of the Librarius. These gifted champions become sorcerers, warrior mystics whose powers tear at the very fabric of reality itself. Hex of Decrepitude - In the Warp, time flows according to its own unknowable pattern. Space-faring vessels travel the galaxy precisely because of this property, arriving at their destination in a matter of solar weeks rather than over the course of generations. A powerful sorcerer may call upon such temporal effects to age his enemies prematurely by manipulating the eddies of the Warp. Some are cold-hearted strategists who vent their hatred upon as much of the universe as possible; Ygethmor the Deceiver once orchestrated a doomsday cult that resulted in the depopulation of every inhabited world in the Corriallis System.But the psychically powerful Magnus and his Thousand Sons would continue to study such powers in secret on their homeworld of Prospero, ultimately leading to their damnation by Chaos, and the scouring of their world by the Space Wolves, unleashing a deadly rivalry that has lasted unto the present day. This 6-0 list shows us that Thousand Sons can in fact still take it to the house in the post-dataslate world. Luis put up wins against CSM, Sisters, Eldar, Custodes, and Dark Angels before beating Astra Militarum in the final round to claim the top spot. Mordeghai - High Magister Mordeghai, a gifted Chaos Sorcerer, was a Tribune Senioris to Magnus the Red at the Siege of the Imperial Palace during the Battle of Terra. Sometime during the 41st Millennium, Mordeghai had foreseen that if his Death Guard arch-rival Festardius gained control of the world of Mekenna VII, the Plague Lord would use his new influence to turn Mortarion's forces against Mordeghai's cabal. The best way to prevent this from happening was to wrest control of the world from Festardius once the Warmaster Davroth had departed. Mordeghai believed he had more than enough Thousand Sons Rubric Marines to accomplish this. With the champions of the cabal incanting as one, their sorceries become an unstoppable tidal wave.Use this Cabbalistic Ritual after a Psychic test made for a unit from your army is passed. That psychic power or psychic action cannot be denied.
